4.6 Remote IP
Remote IP is the IP address of the remote host to attempt connections to. If incoming
connections are being accepted, then only connections from the Remote IP address or
Fallback IP address are accepted.
Set Remote IP to all zeros (0.0.0.0) to disable outgoing connections and allow
incoming connections from anywhere.
To enter or change the Remote IP:
1 Choose Serial Port from the Device Settings menu.
2 Choose Remote IP from the Serial Port Settings sub-menu.
You are prompted to enter the IP address of the remote system.
3 Type the remote IP address and press Enter.
4.7 Remote Port
Remote Port is the port address on the remote device to which the iPocket232 sends
incoming data. Remote Port must be set in tcp(tunnel), tcp-client, and udp modes.
To enter or change the Remote Port:
1 Choose Serial Port from the Device Settings menu.
2 Choose Remote Port from the Serial Port Settings sub-menu.
You are prompted to enter the port number on the remote system.
3 Type the remote port number at the prompt and press Enter.
4.8 Fallback IP
Fallback IP is the IP address of the machine the unit connects to if the Remote IP
address (primary) is not responding, not accepting connections, or not sending data.
The unit makes one attempt to connect to the Remote IP. If that attempt fails, it
attempts to connect to the Fallback IP, alternating until a connection is made. After
connecting to the Fallback IP address, the unit tries the Remote IP on the next attempt.
If data is received from either host, the next connection attempt is to the Remote IP
address.
Fallback can also be disabled, or enabled to accept incoming connections from any
host. Table 4.5 describes Fallback IP settings.
